This multicooker simplifies & streamlines my cooking routine - I no longer need several pots and appliances to meet my cooking/baking needs, the Black & Decker multicooker can saute/sear, roast/bake or slow cook food in one large pot. I love how easy it is to use, the glass lid allows me to easily check on food without having to lift the lid, the pot is easy to clean, and it can also be used to keep food warm when the family runs late for a meal. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
